    November football: The Sack Race

    I know the season started late but we must be due a sacking soon, surely?

    Poll to come with the most likely managers to get the chop first, per Oddschecker.

    From the United perspective Solskjaer's in a weird position. Champions League has been brilliant so far but the league position is only misleading in as much as we were really fucking lucky to get those three points off Brighton. Plus, y'know, we've been absolute fucking turd. With two of our three league games in November looking eminently lose-able away at Everton and Southampton I wonder how itchy United's trigger finger will get and whether they're already considering the alternatives. It would be fun if we somehow won the Champions League and got relegated though so I'm crossing my fingers for that.

    Yeah, the Champions League will keep Ole at the wheel for a while.

    Lampard stays for being a propa lejund.

    It should be Parker, but I'm not sure he can really be blamed for this. Fulham just aren't a Premier League team. I have no idea how they got promoted alongside Leeds. Completely different levels.

    I vote Dyche.

    They've stuck by Dyche a lot so over the years so I can only see him resigning. I can see Parker going in a hasty "Well, someone else is available." gamble.

    Steve Bruce for the United job. Eek.

    My sources suggest that Billic will be gone before Lockdown ends.

    Stick your house on it.

    Seven points should already be enough to stay up, looking at the bottom four.

    Lampard isn't going anywhere, even if we tank (which we won't). Fulham's problem is not Parker, but the absolute Walter Mitty melt who is their 'sporting director'. Parker is probably the reason they're up in the first place.

    I could see Solskjaer getting the bullet soonish if the soy sauce sponsors start cutting their fees.

    Parker better stick it out, purely for the entertainment of hearing him talk on MOTD.

    Also, I realise 89% of his game is about winning fouls but Harry Kane is a massive diving cunt.

    Klopp.

    Worst defence in the league is simply unforgivable with or without VVD as can be shown by our poor league position. The Man City match is going to be 10-9.

    As everyone's second favourite and most pleasing on-the-eye club, I'm sure I speak for us all when I say I am buzzing to watch Bielsa don the shit out of Rodgers with Pablo Hernandez running riot.

    Entire first choice back four (+ Ndidi) out injured.

    Urgh. We've looked awful in this so far. Wasteful in possession and poor at the back.

    Add Luke Thomas to this. It's basically a bunch of clones and the black guy.

    I do jinx Leeds nicely every time I stroke my �� at them on here. They look dodgy af at the back against the directness of the Leicester 2 but they've crafted a few openings so 3-2 incoming.

    He's always got that in the locker. I've felt bad for the lad recently as the Premier League has transformed him from some sort of demigod figure last season to looking a bit old and tired all of a sudden (he is thirty five, to be fair) so it's good to see glimpses of the old magic still.

    Rodgers really showing his pragmatic side this season, good to see. Getting big results whilst also in Europe and carrying injuries.

    We could finish 20th and I'd back Wilder. I'd also let him see out next season in the Championship, and only then consider sacking him if we don't look like going anywhere fast.

    Who else we gonna get? Big Sam? Mark Hughes? Fuck that. Big Sam might keep us up but Wilder is a big part of the identity of the club. He's earned enough credit to take us down if that's what happens.

    He's started better than Salah did. Firmino might be starting on the bench for the foreseeable.

    You really can see the effects of the age of misinformation recently. This gaff used to stand for something.
